Abstract

Actor-network theory is considered to have great potential for broadening and deepening our grasp of institutional work (LAWRENCE; SUDDABY, 2006). Given its focus on process, ANT offers a means to breathe life into the practices associated with institutionalization. With Callon's (1986) four moments of translation as analytical lens, and with Ireland's Industrial Development Authority as empirical example, I seek to address the concerns of Clegg and Machado da Silva (2009) by reconsidering "the role of agency, power, persistence and change in the process of institutionalization".Considera-se que a teoria ator-rede tem um grande potencial para ampliar e aprofundar nossa compreensão do trabalho institucional (LAWRENCE; SUDDABY, 2006). Dado o seu foco no processo, a teoria oferece um meio para dar vida às práticas associadas à institucionalização. Tendo os quatro momentos de tradução de Callon (1986) como lente analítica e a Autoridade de Desenvolvimento Industrial da Irlanda como exemplo empírico, buscou-se responder às preocupações de Clegg e Machado da Silva (2009), reconsiderando-se "o papel da agência, do poder, da persistência e da mudança no processo de institucionalização".
